Ceiling curtains - 110 photos of ideas for a modern interior
“Ceiling curtains” is a broad and exaggerated concept, it includes all curtains that are attached to the ceiling. So, these may include:
- ceiling curtains in the hall in the form of fabric drapery, decorating the space of the room;
- curtains on the cornice, which is attached to the ceiling;
- pleated curtains.
Draped Ceilings
Curtains in the form of textile drapery of the ceiling create an atmosphere of idleness and luxury at the same time. Often, this decoration is used in the design of the hall for a banquet, wedding and other special occasions, as it differs in its unusualness.
With the help of hinged draped ceilings, you can create home comfort. This is especially true for those who want to turn their room into an oriental fairy tale or who love the Empire style.
Textile drapery must be distinguished from stretch ceilings made of fabric. The latter have an even shape and are rigidly attached to the ceiling without sagging. Draped ones have magnificent forms and folds.
Pleated Curtains
They are corrugated fabric with special mechanisms. Used in the performance of complex and unusual interiors. They can be applied to any shape and arrangement of windows (horizontal / vertical).
Pleated curtains give the room a certain zest and organically fit into any interior.
Curtains on the ceiling cornice
The best option for decorating both window and doorways. They are an alternative to curtains on a wall ledge, but they look more deeply. Sometimes, by necessity, they are the only option available (for example, if the exit to the veranda has solid glazing from floor to ceiling).
Pros and Cons of Ceiling Curtains
Choosing ceiling curtains for your interior has the following advantages:
- they are easy to install;
- perfectly hide all defects of the ceiling, as well as communications passing through it;
- comparatively not expensive;
- look beautiful.
But there are also disadvantages:
- due to the volume of the curtains, the height of the room decreases, the ceilings become lower;
- absorb odors (not recommended for installation in the living room, combined with the kitchen).
Sliding curtains
Such ceiling curtains consist of two curtains, which are opened in different directions. They are suitable for any kind of design, and can be selected taking into account the characteristics of the interior.
Curtains can be in the form of a curtain, selected by various clamps, pickups, ribbons, holders, etc., and can be in the form curtains for curtains (ceiling).
Japanese curtains
The cornice is multirow. A curtain with a weighting agent at the end is hung on it, so that the canvas is smooth, without a single fold. Such curtains can be opened either manually or using special mechanisms.
Roman curtains
This is a canvas that is mounted on a lifting cornice, and the cornice itself is attached to the ceiling or wall. It has a lifting mechanism, not bulky, suitable for small spaces with large window openings.
On which cornice to install ceiling blinds?
There are several types of cornices:
- Eaves with an internal rail. Suitable for design in the style of minimalism, as it is completely invisible. They can have both two and one row. It is better to hang curtains on such a curtain without additional “weighting” with lambrequins and baguettes.
- Eaves with an external rail. It has only one row and is particularly flexible.
- Eaves "tire". This is the most popular option - a bar with one, two or even three in-line rail. Ideal for any interior.
Special style decisions require you to completely cover the cornice.For such purposes, there are various moldings.

I like the modern version of the curtains when there is no curtain rail or a false curtain rail is made - the curtains go as if directly from the ceiling.
I do not like cornices themselves - dust collectors are still those, laziness to care for them.
Therefore, I chose the option of curtains from the ceiling for myself. And it looks somehow modern, such a minimalistic modern design.
But the curtains themselves, you can choose solid, heavy, powerful.
